<strong>Entry Limitations:</strong> This tournament is open only to schools in the San Diego Imperial Valley Speech League. This tournament will feature a Novice division and a Varsity division in all events. A Novice competitor must have never competed in any high school speech or debate tournament in previous school years.</p>
<p>
Students must compete in the same division for all events (cannot compete as a Novice in one event, and Varsity in another). Exception: If a Duo team is "mixed" (one Novice, one Varsity), that pair must compete at the Varsity level. However, the Novice partner may compete as a Novice in other events.</p>
<p>
<span>Each competitor may enter up to four events, with a maximum of two in any pattern. Students entered in Extemp or Congress may enter only that event in that pattern. Schools with students competing in Congress must have submitted a minimum of three (3) Congress bills as of Debate 1 (Sept 15, 2012).</span> (First-year teams are exempt from this requirement)</p>
<p>
Novices wishing to use manuscripts in prepared events (excludes IX, NX, and Impromptu) may do so without penalty; however, judges will be instructed to consider the use of scripts in their reason for decision in rankings.<br />
<br />
Note – if there are fewer than 5 entries in IX or NX, the events will be collapsed into one. If there are fewer than 5 entries in OO or OA, the events will be collapsed into one.<br />
<br />
<strong>Judges: </strong>Each school should bring 1 judge per 6 entries (or part thereof). Schools not meeting their judging commitment will be required to drop entries to match their available judges. Required number of judges must be present throughout the entire tournament.<br />
<br />
<strong>Entry Fees:</strong> $8 per I.E. entry, $16 for duo. Make checks payable to SDIVSL. Fees are due at registration.<br />
<br />
<strong>Entry Deadline:</strong> Entries must be posted on www.forensicstournament.net by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, September 17. No new teams or students may add after the entry deadline. The only changes allowed after the entry deadline is dropping entries (see below).<br />
<br />
<strong>Drops:</strong> Dropped entries will be accepted without charge until Wednesday, September 19, at 3:30 p.m. After that time, the website will be closed and entry fees will be final. Please email (detherid@vusd.k12.ca.us) or call in (619-200-7439) your drops after the drop deadline, even as late as on your way to the tournament, to obviate excessive changes at the beginning of the tournament. When calling in or emailing drops, be sure to give the speaker’s name, event, and your school clearly. <br />
<strong><br />
Novice Observers:</strong> If Novice competitors are not prepared to compete, coaches are encouraged to bring them to this tournament to observe so they can learn the mechanics and etiquette of tournament competition. Also, Novices will compete in rounds 1-3 and placings will be figured from those three rounds. Novices should plan to observe Varsity Finals. Please advise your observers of the following guidelines:<br />
<br />
1. Enter rounds on time.<br />
<br />
2. Before entering a room, be sure no one is speaking.<br />
<br />
3. Stay in the round until its conclusion.<br />
<br />
4. Listen courteously to all speakers.<br />
